Dear Joel, I used to find eulogises posted on blogs and social media platforms really weird.

*Originally posted on facebook * Read part 3 here talked to my family for what felt like eternity, I still had stories but they had to sleep at some point. It was Sunday night.

On a Friday morning I sat on a boda boda heading to Busega. It was a safe boda but I wasn’t wearing a helmet. The strap of the helmet was broken. It kept going sideways on my head. I decided after adjusting it every two seconds that it wasn’t worth messing up my pony tail. …
